I am interested in purchasing one of these - new or used. Does anyone know where I can do that? I live in New York State. Thanks!

Check out Nemo Bug Out Shelters
+ 1 on the Nemo Bugout. I switched over to one from the Eureka system last here.
If you are interested in a Eureka system. I would go with their newer Bugzone model. Heard good things.
Will be be cheaper than the Nemo too by a bit.
Easy to order from Canada. Just one example below. They will ship to the US.

And $159 CAD plus fees so only about $120 plus
fee USD. Nemo 9x9 bugout is $200 USD. But being in New York you might get free shipping from a US retailer. So...??

I spoke to a Eureka manager at the Outdoor Adventure show in Toronto back in February 2018. He mentioned the VCS13 has being discontinued and replaced with another version, the NoBugZone 13.

It is basically like the Nemo bug shelter mentioned earlier with an integrated tarp and mesh room. I own a vcs 13 but have seen the new model in action. The integrated tarp & mesh mean more interior space but when it rains, the runoff simply goes down the walls. If it is blowing hard, you get a fine mist through the mesh. You basically have to move everything and everybody into the center of the room. In the older design, the larger tarp area and design offered more protection. Still, for its primary function of keeping you sane in bug season, all of these shelters will do the job.
